The Banshee's Kiss: Conciliation, Class and Conflict in Cork and The
The Banshee’s Kiss: Conciliation, Class and Conflict in Cork and the All for Ireland League. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Patrick Joseph Murphy. August 2019 1 The Banshee’s Kiss: Conciliation, Class and Conflict in Cork and the All for Ireland League. ABSTRACT Historians have frequently portrayed constitutional nationalism as being homogeneous - ‘the Home Rule movement’- after the reunification of the Irish parliamentary party in 1900. Yet there were elements of nationalist heterodoxy all over the country, but it was only in Cork where dissent took an organised form in the only formal breakaway from the Irish party when the All for Ireland League (A.F.I.L.) was launched in 1910. The AFIL took eight of the nine parliamentary seats in Cork and gained control of local government in the city and county the following year. Existing historical accounts do not adequately explain why support for the Home Rule movement collapsed in Cork, but also why the AFIL flourished there but failed, despite the aspiration of its name, to expand beyond its regional base. The AFIL is chiefly remembered for its visionary policy of conciliation with unionists following the Damascene conversion of its leader William O’Brien, transformed from the enemy of the landed classes to an apostle of a new kind of bi- confessional politics. This would, he claimed, end the ‘Banshee’s Kiss’, a cycle of conflict in which each new generation attempts to achieve Irish freedom. However, conciliation was a policy which was unpopular with both nationalists and unionists and O’Brien therefore needed to develop an electoral base by other means with more popular policies.

The paper will focus on Outlaw and Lawmaker (1893), which Robert Dixon has assigned to the 'colonial adventure' genre. But unlike the aristocratic 'Em' Waveryng in the novel, Rosa Praed did not write about picturesque colonials for exclusively British readers. Her work also circulated and publicised political ideas among her Australian readers. To me, the most striking thing about this text is its concern with the Irish question and the marriage question, both vigorously debated in the late 1880s in Britain, the United States and Australia. I would therefore argue that to read Outlaw and Lawmaker only in terms of the romance genre is to limit unnecessarily our understanding of the institutional locations from which Praed intervenes in public debate.

Mr. John E-edmond, M.P., has made the following statement with regard to the events in Dublin to a London representative of the Central News of America : My first feeling, of course, on hearing of this insane movement was one of horror, discourage- ment, almost despair. I asked myself whether Ireland, as so often before in her tragic history, was to dash the cup of liberty from her hps ; was the insanity of a small section of her people once again to turn all her marvellous victories of the last few years into irreparable defeat, and to send her back, on the very eve of her final recognition as a free nation, into another long night of slavery, incalculable suffering, weary and uncertain struggle ? (Ro02) Look at the Irish position to-daj^ In the short space of forty years she has by a Consti- tutional movement made an almost unbrokenly triumphant march from pauperism and slavery to prosperity and freedom.

John Edward Redmond — the National Leader
01 JOHN EDWARD REDMOND — THE NATIONAL LEADER John Edward Redmond (1856–1918), Wexford man and leader of The Irish Parliamentary Party from 1900–1918, was one of the most influential Irish politicians in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He was a leading exponent of Irish parliamentary nationalism and was expected to become the first prime minister of an Irish Parliament. Redmond was a member of a Catholic landed family with a background in business and politics. John served as M.P. for New Ross (1881–1885), North Wexford (1885–1891), and Waterford (1891–1918). His aim and that of his party was to secure Home Rule or a domestic parliament for Ireland. Redmond skilfully secured the pas- sage of a third Home Rule Bill through Westminster in September 1914. 01. John Redmond as a young man The outbreak of the First World War in August 1914, combined with polit- ical division in Ireland, delayed the introduction of Home Rule. In the following years, support for Redmond declined rapidly under pressure of events at home and abroad. He died on 6 March, 1918 and is buried in the family mausoleum in St John’s graveyard, Wexford. This exhibition reflects on his life and achievements. 02. John Redmond 04.

Dillon, John by Frank Callanan Dillon, John
Dillon, John by Frank Callanan Dillon, John (1851–1927), nationalist parliamentarian, was born 8 September 1851 in Blackrock, Co. Dublin, third child and second son of John Blake Dillon (qv), politician and lawyer, and Adelaide Dillon (neé Hart). Dillon's birth took place while his mother was home visiting her family in the interval between his father's flight to New York after the abortive rising of 1848 and his return under an amnesty in 1854. Dillon was educated privately until the age of thirteen (one of his tutors was the future Fenian leader James Stephens (qv)). He then attended the University School in Harcourt St. John Blake Dillon, elected for Tipperary the previous year, died in 1866, leaving a large family, and his wife died in May 1872. John Dillon was looked after by the extended family, and when in Dublin lived with his maternal uncle Charles Hart (1824–98), whose residence at 2 North Great George's St. became in time Dillon's own. Dillon attended the Catholic University as an arts student from 1865 to 1870. After an abortive apprenticeship with a Manchester cotton-broker, he entered the Catholic University medical school in Cecilia St. and obtained a degree from the College of Surgeons. For 1874–5 he was auditor of the Literary & Historical Society. From 1870 he suffered the first of the sustained bouts of ill health which were to punctuate his political career. He underwent a mild religious crisis as he struggled to reconcile his inherited catholicism with contemporary scientific thought. From early in life he had a marked austerity of temper.
